Weak

[bald]

Last I heard, Darrem was a bodybuilder..........not a powerlifter.

[Naked4Jesus]

 How much weight is he required to use on a contest stage?  Is he in training for a powerlifting meet?  Or isn't it more like.... whatever he's doing has worked wonders for his arm development since they're definately a strong point.  Case closed.

[Stavios]

It's a well known fact that the amount of weight you can curl is high correlated with fighting ability 

haha good one ct

since when do powerlifters do biceps curls and dumbbell extensions?

Bast, buddy....  quit while you're behind!

I hope you're kidding, but nearly all of them.

[sarcasm]

there's a pic in the latest Flex of Darrem pressing 315 behind the neck fairly deep, don't know if the picture was staged or not but it's hard to believe that he's that strong.

Go ask Dave Tate or any Westside powerlifters; triceps work is probably their top priority (for the bench press). They perform at least 2-3 heavy triceps exercises twice a week.

You would expect a guy who's been on steroids and been a pro bodybuilder for years to be able to handle a bit more weight. 

Did it ever occur to you that those weights could possibly be warm up sets?

Forget it. You will never be a pro bodybuilder, you will never look like one and you have no f*ucking clue what it takes to get ready for a pro show and what some pros go through in terms of discipline.

By that pic he looks like he's a few weeks out from doing a show. pro's typically dont go heavy in the weeks prior to show for concern of a possible injury.

ok...I'm sure you can do more weight on bicep curls. But your form is probably dog shit with your ass poking in the air as you lift the weight and your spine bending backwards like a pretzel as you bring the weight up.

dickhead.....

[Bast175]

A lot of meltdowns going on here.  You guys must have some weak arms.

Maybe so but the its not how heavy your lifts are that win you physique contests.

Where did I say that he's a bad bodybuilder?

[Dan-O]

I focus on the individual muscle.  While pumping away at an exercise, I watch the muscle belly bulge and contract.  Throughout the set, I make sure I am not using leverage from my body or assistance from another joint or muscle group.  At the slightest sign that I might be letting the focus of the exercise stray from the muscle belly, I stop immediately, rest for a few moments, then begin anew with better concentration.  This focus has contributed to the muscle separation I'm known for.

Weak, or smart?  You figure it out, "Bast."  hahahaha, oh brother, what a name.

[VegasPole]

hahahahahahah look at his face in the last pic w/ the tricep extensions. face of death!!!

JESUS!

[body88]

That looks like the face arnold makes while doing flys in pumping iron.

When he is wearing the yellow tank top who has the screen shots..........

Agreed.  Darrem is not weak by any means, but he's obviously the kind of guy who emphasizes perfect form and the mind-muscle connection, and hell he's a bodybuilder after all so who cares.  I couldn't imagine him doing his usual good clean reps with 315.



 

[Oldschool Flip]

How many reps has he done? Could be 50-100. Ever hear of that bast?
